I have read the postings on all three articles in this series and have come to one conclusion, due to the exceptionally large number of cheaters, liars, and con artists applying for IT jobs, you cannot trust any resume or face-to-face interview without a complete background check on the individual. To think we are trusting sensitive data to people who would lie about their education, experience, and certificates is unthinkable and in same cases criminally negligent.

It makes you feel like you need to have a contract with any viable candidate who applies that their resume and background will be checked, and if they are found falsifying any material they will be required to pay the cost of the background checking and might face legal action on fraud charges. That might slow some of these charlatans down.
